Turned on my PS3 to download Red Dead Redemption, and quickly remembered that I can't download a game while playing another. How did we ever get by without multitasking?

I just read Siliconera's Omega Quintet preview/review. Man, that sounds disappointing. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was hoping the writing would be better :/. TapTap, what did you think of the writing?

What? No. Background downloads definitely do continue while you are in a game. It will pause them only if the game actively uses the Internet connection.
I tried playing Ratchet & Clank (the remaster of the first game) and it paused the download, which I don't believe uses an active Internet connection. As well, I was under the impression that more resource intensive games would also pause downloads, though I suppose I could be mistaken.
Everyone should watch Game Center CX's episode on the original Umihara Kawase, that's what made me interested in the series.
Hollow Fragment is half a psp port and half new content but, yeah, iirc OA should be a remake of two games, there's a handy chart that shows all the games but I can't find it. Parakeetman has it for sure.
It's probably the game being dumb and disabling background downloads for no reason. But in most other games this is handled properly.

blops 3 pre order up on US PSN & Europe if any of you were wondering

Its a remake of Generation Xth Code Hazard + Code Breaker
Operation Babel = Code Realize
Its not that this info really matters as hardly anyone has actually played the Generation Xth series besides long time fans of Exp Inc. lol
I've wanted to play Silent Hill 3 especially, but I've heard some horrid things about the HD remasters. I'd like to know too, so I might have some closure.

So, both Zodiac and world end eclipse are going to be free to play?
I enjoyed my time with destiny of Spirits, but I still feel a little disappointed.

Random useless facts are the best
More seriously, it happened like that :
"Man, I can't wait for this game, and to think there are two games woth of content in it... wait, is there, really ?" Then I quickly checked some Abyss thread and couldn't find the info again.

See that isnt really going to help without proper context as the original games themselves were not exactly super long. I forget how long the last one is as its been years since Ive played all 3. But the first two titles are not that long on their own. Were priced accordingly also. So its not like people bought 60 dollar games with little content for the Generation Xth series. Dont think you can get the 3 games separate anymore, but they have the Generation Xth 1 2 3 pack for around 40 USD. They had to combine the two to make enough content for a single game. As the game follows the same general script as the original series, with updates to the characters and such. Some being fully redone in comparison to the original PC version.
The short is they combined 2 halves of a game to make one lol.
In regards to the whole Generation Xth series those 3 titles were more like when the company was still small like an indie dev house, their first real big release was the Students of Round game then the rest of the titles that followed after. Wait think it was Cross Blood first then Students of Round. Though Cross Blood was harder to find with the low print numbers, where Student of Round had a lot more copies and was able to be found pretty easily in stores.
Heres the full list of the series.
Updating my list:
Japanese games with retail releases (english subtitles):
- Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (Europe, Asia);
- Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines (Asia);
- Soul Sacrifice Delta (Asia);
- Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment (Asia);
- New Little King's Story (Europe, Asia);
- Dokuro (Asia, Japan);
- Moe Chronicle (Asia);
- Sword Art Online: Lost Song (Asia);
- Steins;Gate (Europe);
- Final Fantasy X-2 HD (Asia);
- Orgarhythm (Asia, Japan);
- J-Stars Victory+ (Europe, Asia);
- One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 (Europe).

Yeah, I imported Dokuro before it came out here when they announced it'd be digital only.
That's interesting. Could you take a look at my list? Does it seem complete for you? I wish Sayonara Umihara Kawase+ could make it, but it won't. Same for Hotline Miami Collection, but I'm not feeling that one either.

Op Abyss is a remake of the first 2 Xth games, right? I don't think Realize has been remade, but Babel is a sequel to Abyss.
Will we be missing out on much there, story wise? Aside from Babel, I doubt NISA is going to go back and do Cross Blood unless they get remade/ported to another system in the future.
Some of them are worth a lot of money, but most of them aren't that rate. Currently, Oreshika should be the most expensive one to get off eBay.

SH HD games are horrible because the original final builds are lost, for SH2 at least. The studio porting them had to work with the alpha codes.
they are being sold at very reasonable/affordable prices where I'm at ><
I really hope no one gets me to help them (buy it and ship it to them) and end up reselling it...
- I would be quite annoyed to say the least
CORRECTION: I would be VERY annoyed if it's a fellow GAFfer
Really? Even the english asian SSD? I might be interested in that.
I wonder if I should get Steins;Gate limited edition. I won't get the standard edition because North America should be getting that sometime this year, but it's not like the limited edition is all that great either. I just don't want to wait months to play a game that's already available elsewhere.

This is exactly where I'm at. I really don't want to wait, but that LE looks lackluster. Maybe playing the game or watching the anime would make the metal upa seem more worthwhile, but the artbook mostly looks like screen shots from the game. $80 is expensive for something that looks mostly meh.
I know the SE is available for free shipping, but I'd rater wait for better US prices rather than going for that.
I'm probably going to pass, but we'll see. It'd be nice if PQube could give us a better idea of the NA release date.
Exact same situation, I'm sure a lot of people are going through this as well. I'll wait until a few days before the release, if they don't share any news regarding the NA release, I'll probably get it.
Stay away of sh hd collection. It has no fog on silent hill 2 , the character runs like in slow motion( im not exaggerating here) in sh3, there is music that cuts suddenly to silence, music that shouldn't be there ( the coders didn't have idea where the correct pieces were supposed to go) has like thousands of bugs and its a really a shame of a port leaving jak and daxter on vita like a king in comparison. There is even a 2 hour long documentary on YouTube stating every mistake they made . and of course this.

Quick question, has anyone ever used "PayByMobile" on PSN? I'm 0.30 short of buying the Toro PS4 theme and usually use Pre-Paid PSN cards or my PayPal account to buy stuff although for security reasons I made it so my PayPal account has to be manually charged at my local bank. Now I don't feel like running off to charge up 0.30 and discovered this PayByMobile option.
From what I've read it works like this:
1: Use PayByMobile
2: SMS with verification-code will be send to my phone
3: Enter verification-code
4: Amount will be charged from my next mobile bill
Now my questions, I'm currently with T-Mobile Germany on a monthly contract, is it as hassle free as it sounds? Will there be any added fees or will it simply be 100% the 0.30 I'm lacking?
Thanks for any answers in advance

I don't know if this has been posted, but I like to watch Youtube videos on my Vita, and in the past I would occasionally see a message that a video was unavailable on mobile but that I could add it to a playlist and watch it later on PC. Recently every video I try to watch that's more than an hour long gives me this message. Anyone know why this has changed?
You have a cool mom, be thankful for her.
Are you using the YouTube app? Because Sony cut support for the app on the 20th, so that could be why.

No, I'm using the web browser.
Try disabling the mobile site. IIRC Youtube doesn't allow long videos on m.youtube.com due to ads. Because Vita's video playback is a bit weird, you might have to use the skip button if ads loop on you.
Or you could use the Youtube app until it breaks down.

There is no Silent Hill HD collection.
SSD in English is impossible to find. So I'm glad you were able to help me out with that.
Just FYI wilflare so you don't get upset with me.
I already own Oreshika (non-LE) and will be re-selling that on in the B/S/T thread for what it cost me from Play-Asia so no profit.
This was before I knew the English LE existed and realized I had to have it in my life, haha.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
As stated before
Op Abyss = Code Hazard + Code Breaker
Op Babel = Code Realize (sub blood system inclusion aka sub jobs)
Generation Xth = Code Hazard, Code Breaker, Code Realize in that order.
After that if there is another remake that would be based off of Cross Blood which takes place after Code Realize.
Considering that you have the story finished for the Generation Xth arc if you play both Abyss and Babel you should be fine. Since the stuff in Cross Blood takes place after depending on how they do the ending in Babel would either let people know there will be a third game coming which is the Cross Blood remake or close things off so folks who never played or knew about Cross Blood would not know that there is another game in the series.

Oops, sorry, missed that up the page.
Thanks for replying again though!Hopefully Abyss does well enough that NISA will do Babel and any other future Exp games.

No problem. The reason why the Generation Xth series was done up into 3 parts like that is each one represents a term during their high school year. As Japan runs on a trimester system.
Id imagine that they would also have Babel down the pipe and would be the title to come out after Stranger of Sword City (if they have that) but in the event that NISA does have that title it makes a nice break in between the 2 titles to prevent series fatigue with the setting.

Interesting, thanks. I would imagine they have Babel in the pipeline in case Abyss does well. SoSC seems like something Exp and a lot of fans want localized, so it wouldn't surprise me.
One last clarification question about Xth series. If we wanted the entire series in their most complete/updated forms, the games we would need (in chronological order storywise) are:
Operation Abyss
Operation Babel
Labyrinth Cross Blood: Infinity Ultimate
edit, looking around and reading up on the series more, I believe this is correct.
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Basically yes that should be the whole series there.
On a separate topic for
Students of Round
Stranger of Sword City
Granted there are not a huge narrative connection, the general world and backstory parts are connected. And it is not necessary to play Students of Round before playing Stranger of Sword City. As the story itself is self contained, but those who have played Students of Round would pick up on things within the game. Its why some people call SoSC, Students of Round II. Though the narrative process is different as SoR had preset characters and the only real "voiceless" character is the main character the player initially creates. Where in SoSC the game has characters appearing in the story but your party is consisted of characters all created by the player and hold no personalities of their own.
Though dont worry about this too much when SoSC comes out. Even more so considering there is no official localized version of SoR.

Thanks again.
I read that Students of the Round was in the same universe/series as Demon Gaze? I'm going to assume that's wrong, as you have far more first hand knowledge on the matter.
Anyway, nice heads up. I'm not too worried about Students of the Round. Seems like the window of opportunity for that one has passed, glad Exp wisely didn't make it necessary to play.
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
I think just more in the sense of the races rather than like story wise anyways.
SoR has a lot more of a connection to SoSC not only due to some mechanics but there is an actual reoccurring character that appears.

When did both PS3 and Vita versions of Plants vs. Zombies get pulled from PSN?
